No he didn’t get any better. He’s space was cut off and our delivery was atrocious if not farcical. Henry was the catalyst of our ineptitude last night but he really had no senior reliance to gain any composure.

Problem is always rucks who want a #1 ruck position...
Witts lost to GC - basically backed the wrong horse - Witts at Collingwood now would be excellent and we could have traded Grundy for 2 x 1st rounders 2 years ago to Adelaide (this is how one gets ahead...)
Lynch - jury is out but if he continues to develop at the current rate, will be a major embarrassment. Cameron serviceable in the ruck and a keeper, Begg 3-4 years off, Grundy a gun but now a knee injury to add to his slowly declining form over the past 3 years and in the early stage of a massive contract... Its a major worry for the list mismanagement team.

Getting ahead is what we don’t do well. The game leaves you behind the eight ball if you don’t box smart. Only problem is too many don’t see what’s happening.

C. Brown had a mare because he couldn't get his hands on it.
Henry had a mare because he didn't finish off his chances on goal.
When it comes to bad games I know which one I prefer.
Personally I remain paranoid about Geelong because I'm convinced they'll have him in their sights and he's yet to recommit.
His talent is obvious.

Tyler actually did some ok things but Callum is finished.
Ouch. Treloar getting the meddle. That’s is a massive smack to the nads. |
Serious?? Tyler did some “OK” things. He has absolutely no footy smarts and several of his efforts were just embarrassing to watch. It was mortifying watching these 2 play and Adam Treloar ripping us a brand new ring hole AGAIN! |
I thought Tyler showed something as well. Maybe support the Dogs now Mudlark

Yep, we need to make sure we sign him up asap. He is an enormous talent.

Hard to argue about that and I don’t remember anyone complaining about his kicking in the previous month ( including seven in the VFL )
It happens. Try anticipating how Max Kings day is going to pan out from one week to the next. Most young players with talent will still have good days and bad days, so yet another of his challenges at the ripe old age of 19, is to mitigate the difference between his best and worst. His attack on the footy was very good, so if he keeps that up, the rest will follow. |

I know that getting beaten at clearances and contested ball is indicative of a well beaten on ball brigade, but to my eye our main problem is our complete lack of key position players - no proper rucks, tall forwards or a full back. Having a strong tall spine creates confidence for everyone else. Until we at least get Grundy and Roughead back, we will struggle to beat anybody.
In the meantime, our youngsters will continue to get valuable experience and should improve quickly. Already I can see long term futures for the Daicos brothers, Henry, Ginnivan, McCreery, and possibly Poulter and McCrae.
I do not see a future for either of the Brown brothers. |

We r all hoping Tyler comes on.
Henry had a decent game except his kicking. Any of the other 17 teams would have him on their list.

How’s your dumb prediction we wouldn’t miss Grundy looking? |

Lynch wanted out - because he wasn’t getting a game.
Club wanted to keep him. |

You think Grundy makes us a 6-7 goal better team? Lol you’re delusional. Missing Pendlebury and Ginnivan were actually bad losses. Besides Friday night is the games Grundy always loses us, when the oppositions no1 ruckman is out. |

You’re the one who said he wouldn’t be missed and now have egg on your face.
Clearly you don’t understand the game, and your hyperbole has been exposed again. |

| Umps mistook Checkers for Trav Cloke, opposition were allowed to hold him, pull his jumper, block him, chop his arms, no problem! |

Tyler Brown is definitely worth hanging onto , Callum unfortunately does not look up to it. Reef will easily go ahead of him along with Ruscoe .
